Stuffing is ready; take it out in a bowl.

Place a nonstick pan or tawa over flame and preheat it. Pour 1 tsp oil over it and spread evenly. Now take 1 small ladleful batter and spread it over the tawa, thinly with circular motion like a dosa. Pour some ghee all around the cheela.

When it gets slightly brown in color from beneath, flip the sides and roast until it gets brown from the other side as well. When it’s roasted from both the sides, take it off flame and place it over a plate. Now likewise prepare the second pancake. Similarly prepare rest of the pancakes as well.
Place 1 or 1.5 tsp stuffing over the roasted pancakes and fold it in a roll. Likewise prepare rest of the patishapta. With this much batter 10 to 12 patishapta can be prepared. Scrumptious and mouth drooling Patishapta is ready.
